[Halld-online] Cleanup of gluon directories

[David Lawrence]

Hi All,

  I would like to try and clean up the filesystem on the gluon cluster and get some
more files backed up to the repository. This is needed, in part, in order to claim
certain activities as complete. Occasional housekeeping is also just a good idea. 

  I don’t want to break any currently working system or anything that is being
actively developed. However, there are lots of scattered bones of previous or
partially developed systems that need to get swept away. Here is a list of
directories that need to be consolidated and/or removed:

COOL configuration
——————————————
/gluex/devel/cool
/gluex/devel/cool-old
/gluex/devel/cool_test*
/gluex/setups/cool
/gluex/COOL

The “cool_test" directory appears to be the one I imported into svn on 2/6/2014 but has
since been renamed. None of the others contain the .svn directory to link back to the
repository. It  looks like from /gluex/setups/setupcoda3 that now /gluex/setups/cool is
being used (unless you are user “somov" in which case /gluonfs1/home/somov/setups/cool
is used).

I propose that we choose one of these (/gluex/setups/cool) for use in the current
detector-specific DAQ systems and another (/gluex/etc/cool) for development of the
production system. I will use the latter to develop the monitoring system. Both will be
backed up to the svn repository. The others listed above will be removed.


ROLs
——————————————
/gluex/setups/fcal_simple/rol
/gluex/setups/fcal_north/rol
/gluex/setups/fcal_simple_two/rol
/gluex/setups/fcal_n6/rol
/gluex/ROLs
/gluex/builds/devel/packages/rol*
/gluex/release/0.1/src/rol
/gluex/devel/src/rol

I believe at least a couple of these are in use for various things. The only one connected
to the repository is "/gluex/builds/devel/packages/rol” and I believe it does not contain
any ROLs that are currently (or have ever been) used on a SBC. Regardless, we should
consolidate what we can and then backup everything.

Based on modification dates, I suspect the following are no longer in use and should be 
removed:

/gluex/setups/fcal_simple/rol
/gluex/setups/fcal_north/rol
/gluex/setups/fcal_simple_two/rol
/gluex/devel/src/rol

I also propose to consolidate the files in /gluex/ROLs and /gluex/builds/devel/packages/rol
so that they are backed up into the repository. The files in /gluex/setups/fcal_n6/rol
will also be backed up, but to a special directory specific to the FCAL.


CODA
——————————
/gluex/coda
/gluex/devel/coda/
/gluex/old_coda_stuff

I believe the first one is in use and the other two are no longer in use. I propose we remove 
last two.


Other duplicates
——————————————
/gluex/devel
/gluex/builds/devel

/gluex/setups
/gluex/etc/setups

It may not be necessary to consolidate either of these, but in general it is confusing for 
people to navigate a system where multiple directories have the same name and
overlapping purpose.


Please let me know if there are any specific objections to my cleaning things up as described
above. Also, it would be helpful to know if you agree with the changes since I’d like to try moving 
on this sometime this week.

Regards,
-David
